MANITOBA’S SCHOOLS.

Canadian Bishops Receive Unofficial Con. gratulations on Their Attitude. Winnipeg, Man., April 17.—Much excitement was created here yesterday by a rumor that the Vatican had sent a mandate to the Manitoba bishops upholding them in their attitude in the agitation against separate schools. In an interview Archbishop Langevin denied he had received an encyclical letter from the cardinal-general at Rome saying he was pleased with the attitude of the Canadian episcopacy on the matter. Archbishop Langevin said Catholics would not necessarily be excommunicatefi if they supported Manitoba’s public schools. The policy in Manitoba was practically the same as that enunciated by Mgr. Satolli.
